To all whom, itv may concern,-

Be it known that 1, SELDENA.' BAiLEY,'of

' of Rhode lsland, have invented a new and usei'ul Inip'rorement inVVri'nging-Machines 5' and I do hereby declare `that vthe following is atrue and exact description of the same, reference being had to thedrawings and the letters of reference marked thereon.l 1

' Figure l exhibits a side elevation of my improved wringer. Fi g. 2 ;isa sectional eind view', representing'the machine as out transverselyintwo.- Fig. 3 is 'a regulator .constructed for the purposeof retainin gin gear the cogwheels.

The object of my 4invention is vto construct a roller covered in` such amanner by vulcanized ruhherthatits covering. will not become g loosenedor separated fromv the core or cylinder ofthe roller in any manner byuse, and to hold together the cog-wheels attiohed to the rollersbfthewringing machine, or any7 elastic rollers of. similarconstruction,andthus prevent them frornxbeing throwuout of gear.' Toaccomplish. this object l make a core oroylln'dkerofwood,

o'rl other 'suitable material, in to'which'l bore numherofholes'.;yvThevulcanizedfrubber isf then, While li'eated and in a liquid state,'molded over the core and adjustsitse'lt to thfefforrnofv the same, andalso tills the holes.. Whensettledand cool, the elastic covering becomes'almostwholly inseparable from the 'account of. its adhesion.

The`.cogwheel regulator is, constructedfo'f a' Ltlat lrectangular piece'of metal, with ahole near eachzend, one 'ofthe holesbeing of an oblongforni. This regulator is placed o n the 'axles' or" the rollers, theaxles passing through the holes in the regulator, the oblong'hole ofwhich will allowthe rollers to separate'aecordi'n to the length of thecogs andthe elasticity oi'l the rubber, but'not so far as to allow thecog-wheels to be thrown out of gear. 1 v

In the drawiilgs, A, Figs. 1 and 2, is the base oi" the frame ot theclothes-wringer," sup lported by the legs B B, Figs. l and 2.

' C C, Figs. l, and 2, are uprightl standards'- the lower ends ot' whichare vsecurely fastened to the base A, and the tops of which-are'con-`nectedI by the cross-piece D. In eachfof the standards is a lon-g slot,in which the boxes E E of tho'top roller, F, and the-boxes Gr G of thebottomroller, H,.a re fitted.

'Y A rollerv constructed in the man ner describedis more"'easilyibrined, more durable, and cheaperv than if constructed in theordinary' manner.'- *Another important advantage of lmy clothes-wrin geris the cog-Wheel regulator, Awhich prevents the' oog-wheels from'separat-'- ingr so far as to be thrown out of gear, in

l which case there would be a heavy strainonv the lower roller, and alsoon' the clothes It also main ta-ins a uniform friction and preventsv thepassing between the rollers.
